Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut water
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A few fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: peel and slice peaches into chunks if fresh; no need to thaw frozen berries. (About 5 minutes)
- Blend the base: add peaches, berries, coconut water, and lemon juice to blender. Pulse until smooth but slightly textured. Add honey or maple syrup if desired. (2-3 minutes)
- Muddle the mint (optional): gently press mint leaves with a spoon to release oils and stir into fruit mixture. (1 minute)
- Pour into molds: fill ice pop molds with mixture, leaving a small gap at the top. Insert sticks. (3 minutes)
- Freeze: place molds in freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight. (Time varies)
- Unmold and serve: run molds under warm water for 10-15 seconds to loosen pops, then enjoy immediately or store in freezer bag. (2 minutes)
Notes
If mixture is too thick, add more coconut water; if too watery, add more fruit chunks or reduce liquid next time. Leave space in molds to prevent overflow. Run molds under warm water briefly to ease unmolding. For creamier texture, substitute coconut water with coconut milk. Pops keep well up to 2 weeks in airtight freezer bags.
